Introduction:
Abbreviations you should know:
OTP = Online Team Play or Drop In Games
EASHL = EA SPORTS Hockey League or Club Games
HUT = Hockey Ultimate Team
BAP = Be A Pro
Be A Pro:
It will require a minimum of 3 full seasons to unlock all 7 trophy related achievements, plus an additional season(only 4 games) in the CHL to win the Memorial Cup and several more for your Legend. One full season will need to be as a goalie to win the Vezina trophy. You will need another season as a defenseman to win the Norris (you can also try to get all the other trophies in the same season). And a final season as a froward to win the Frank J Selke. You will then need to become a legend. This requires you to complete 250 games and meet several other requirements. I recommend you do this as an offensive defenseman (see guide for details).
